Michael Jordan has purchased two top-floor penthouses, which he'll combine and then install a private elevator.

Jordan purchased the property in Charlotte last week for $3.15 million, according to the Charlotte Observer.

"Hotel life is starting to get a little tiresome," Jordan told the newspaper. "I need to start planting some roots. I need a place where I can bring a bunch of my clothes. There's nothing like having your own place to relax."

Stephen Silas, son of Paul Silas, has accepted a position as the top assistant coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.

Silas had been assistant coach of the Warriors for five seasons.

"He said he wanted me to come with him and 'I couldn't do it without you,' " the younger Silas said. "And it wasn't like it used to be ? I can't do it without you because I need you around. Now it's 'I can't do it without you because of how good of a coach you are.' That feels good to hear your dad say that. It's hard to turn that down."

Silas may return to the Warriors if the elder Silas doesn't remain as head coach of the Bobcats next season.
